Bristol Film Festival is returning to Arnos Vale Cemetery this March for two nights of films that put a twist on fairytale fantasy! Join them after dark in Bristol’s very own necropolis – make your way through this historic graveyard to the beautiful Anglican Chapel and take your seat for the show.
The first film is the exceptionally 80s fan fave The Never-ending Story, which was the most expensive film ever made outside the USA and USSR upon release. Whether you wore your VHS out as a child or discovered it thanks to Stranger Things, there’s no denying the enduring cult status of this story-within-a-story, chronicling the struggle to save Fantasia from The Nothing within the pages of a magical book; while the extensive (and expensive!) special effects may have dated, the power of its imagination hasn’t faded at all.
1984 | U | 94 mins
Sheltering from bullies, Bastian is introduced to a mysterious book, which tells the story of the kingdom of Fantasia. With the Princess gravely ill, and a malevolent force called The Nothing encroaching on the kingdom, the young warrior Atreyu embarks on a journey to save his homeland from destruction.
Contains mild scary and emotional scenes
